Thanks, Ian. I'm pretty happy with it! The brakes are Velo Orange Grand Cru Zestes. I had them on my Surly Cross Check for a year or so and just picked up a pair of used Pauls so I moved them to the Atlantis to save a few bucks, and I think they look better on the A. I've been out on several fully loaded tours and they work well.
